Clover man wins $200K in lottery

A lifelong resident of Clover has won $200,000 playing the South Carolina Education Lottery.

"My wife doesn’t believe me,” said the man, who was not identified in a release from the SC Education Lottery.

While his wife was getting ready for work, the retired winner was preparing to leave for Columbia to collect his Palmetto Cash 5 prize.

Following last night’s drawing, he checked his numbers from the ticket he purchased at the Quick Stop on S. Main St. in Clover. He couldn’t sleep after seeing all five numbers matched (6, 9, 14, 19, and 21). Paying the extra $1 for Power-Up increased his $100,000 winnings to $200,000 when a “2” was drawn.
